No Turning Back (不回头)
当你松开我的手
拖着行李一直往前走
连回头望一下都没有
独自我一个在人群中走漏
你竟然能忍下心这样对我
那意味着我们的爱已经到了尽头
我知道我再也跟不上你的节奏
当你不牵我的手
害怕和我亲热的时候
连一个强颜欢笑都没有
独自的我想起了爱冷却的邂逅
结局不可能有天长地久
醒了吧。。。认了吧。。。算了吧
我们真的很难再从头
除非找到一个很好的理由
当你松开我的手
拖着行李一直往前走
连回头望一下都没有
独自我一个在人群中走漏
你竟然能忍下心这样对我
那意味着我们的爱已经到了尽头
我知道我再也跟不上你的节奏
当你不牵我的手
害怕和我亲热的时候
连一个强颜欢笑都没有
独自的我想起了爱冷却的邂逅
结局不可能有天长地久
醒了吧。。。认了吧。。。算了吧
我们真的很难再从头
除非找到一个很好的理由
I decided to go shopping for electronic goods this evening. Into this huge electronic hypermart I walked in. In fact, this is the third time over the past four days I have walked into this place eyeing the mini hi-fi combo set.
After comparing other models and doing my sums, I narrowed my choice down to 2 models. As both models were from the same manufacturer with only a slight difference, I decided to seek expert advice from the sales people. Who else better than them to advise right? Or so I thought.
I looked around me. There was no sales person to be found. Everyone either pretended to act busy or avoided me like the plague. When I approached one unfortunate soul, he directed me to his other colleagues. Excuse me, what kind of service quality is this?
In the end, I based my choice based on the aesthetics of the mini hi-fi combo set. Having decided, I picked up the box set and proceeded to walk towards the cashier.
It was precisely at this moment when I suddenly became flavour of the moment. My princely presence too was immediately noticed. I instantly transited from being just another casual browser to confirmed buyer. And that excited the staff to a great deal.
Guess what? Two of them swarmed towards me like bees to honey. Please. You don’t have to behave in this manner. Yes, I know you want to be chummy chummy with me now as you want to get the commission from each deal closed. But then excuse me, where were both of you when I needed some advice? Practising your boot-licking skills in a faraway cave?
Ignoring both of them, I just walked straight to the cashier. Since you didn’t offer me any assistance in the beginning, why should I be nice and give you your commission?
While walking to the cashier, something starting with the alphabet ‘D’ caught my eye. Yes, the DVD player was on sale too! It didn’t take me long to decide I’ll buy a DVD player too. The DVD player in the living room was already breathing its last few moments and I’ll be bored without getting to watch any DVDs.
I walked out a happy man as both items were heavily discounted. But I’m not so sure about the sales staff. If you want sales, you have to be sincere and be more forthcoming with your service. Hiding in some obscure corners and then jumping out like a jack in a box when the customer has decided to buy an item is not the way to go.
Of all the possibilities in the world, this one certainly escaped my meticulous eye. I never did plan for it. But it still materialised.
Never did I expect that I would end up becoming someone’s birthday present today. Haha…but let the truth be spoken for I really was given away today.
After the initial first telephone contact with the lady whom I have been liaising with for more than a week, the plan was hatched.
Under the careful orchestration of the sister, I would morph into a surprise present for her brother who had been wanting to get a personal trainer for some time now. So what better way for me to make my grand entrance than appear at his birthday party?
Arrived at the designated place and time I did promptly. I will never forget his surprised look when he saw me walk into the room. A walking birthday present. I was just dressed well. A pity I didn’t wrap myself in a box and hand myself over to him…hahaha…
So now, technically, I’m someone’s birthday present. I belong to someone. My new owner has not decided to open me up yet…I wonder when that would be…hmm…
Anyway, happy birthday dude!
It must be the most heavenly treat I gave myself today. Being a huge soya bean fan and perhaps the most faithful one as well (I must drink soya bean milk twice everyday), it’s a double treat in fact.
So I didn’t hesitate to buy a box of beancurd tarts when I saw them in the shop. Well, I’ve read about them and this shop is famous for its tarts.
When I sank my teeth into the beancurd tart, I could immediately taste the silky smooth soya bean filling. It was oozing with so much freshness that it reminded me of a soya bean drink. I love the taste. Add to the fact that it was fresh out of the fridge which meant the crust was hard.
In fact, I loved the taste so much that I didn’t stop at one….I ate three at one go!!
After reading all about the grunts and rants of some athletes, I finally came face to face, or should I say ear to ear to an on-site, real-time demonstration.
I was at the gym with my client in the early afternoon when my ears picked up an interesting melody from far ahead.
There were 3 guys – one in blue, one in white and one in black. The guy in blue was doing bent-over rows. The guy in white was doing standing overhead presses with the guy in black spotting him.
Then the melody got louder. A closer listening to the melody confirmed it was more than just a melodious tune. It was one that punctuated the air and made everyone else stop and listen to. Even my client became excited suddenly.
We turned our attention to the direction of the melody and became engrossed. It simply turned us on. No hard-ons please. It just turned us on.
Someone was moaning with pleasure while lifting weights in the gym. I thought we men only moan when we are in bed and having sex (regardless of whether it is the full package or not)…when we enter someone from behind…or when someone blows us off, or when we jerk off happily…??
But no, I guess I was wrong. My client told me it was the guy in white who was moaning away. I told him I doubted it. In fact, I thought it was the guy in blue.
We carried on with our workout session. Then the moaning started again. The same distinct moaning. The same pleasurable delight the guy was deriving from his punishing workout. It was the guy in blue alright. The other 2 guys were resting.
The guy in blue was moaning in broad daylight and his moans just became louder and louder. Had I have my phone with me, I would have recorded it. His moan was as loud as Monica Seles’ infamous grunt whenever she swung her tennis racket.
Real men do moan. My client said the guy in blue was moaning because it was a form of release for him. As we know, we release endorphins during strenuous exercise. A gym workout definitely is considered a strenuous exercise. It’s akin to pre ejaculation. Period.
I put forth my own theory. Moaning helped the guy in blue to have a sense of power and control over himself. This in turn would help him to persist in lifting the heavy weight and complete his entire set. Listening carefully confirmed this as the moans synchronised beautifully with each pulling-in motion.
Without doubt, there’s also a third reason why the guy in blue was moaning. He was attempting to attract the attention of all the others in the gym. With all your muscles pumped up and perspiration at a high, it’s hard to remain unaffected.
I teased my client and told him he should start moaning too. He said he would be super embarrassed to even consider that.
Alright. I guess we’ll all be content listening to the guy in blue with his never-endless moans…let the moans continue!
I’m learning to appreciate the true meaning of silence these days. I speak only when it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I restrict the use of my vocal cords indefinitely.
If you think I’m going into this self-meditative state permanently, you’ve got me wrong. If you think I’m going into this reclusive retreat where silence is golden, you’ve got me wrong. If you think I’m traumatised from my past experiences, you’ve got me wrong.
I don’t have a choice really.
I’m down with a bad sore throat – one that seems to get worse as the days go by. Monday arrived with a slight discomfort. Tuesday brought a greater intensity to it with a dry cough. Wednesday heightened it to a crescendo with some yellowish phlegm. Tomorrow is Thursday. I wonder what’s in store for me.
If you catch me with a moody face tomorrow, you’ll know my sore throat’s still persistent. If you see me with a megawatt smile tomorrow, it means sunny days are back and I can sing to my heart’s content again.
Even if it’s my own throat, I won’t bet a wagger to see which way it will swing tomorrow. I’ll leave it to the goodness of the universe to decide what’s in store for me.
It’s my first encounter so far but it certainly has the makings of a thriller. My mentor texted me to say one prospect asked specifically for me.
When I called the prospect, it was the start of a never-ending day of unwarranted thrills and spills. From his sms replies, I deciphered a similar pattern developing. He seemed to be more interested in me as a person rather than my personal training services. He might as well hire a private eye to dig up more information on me. Hmm…big case for worry I thought.
Initially his questions were rather mild ranging from price to training location. Then they steered to the personal ones like whether I provided massage services and my sexual preference. Hey come on! That’s a bit too close for comfort!
In this industry, it’s common to hear of tales from behind the curtains – of hunky trainers sleeping with their clients or cute-looking trainers being kept as toy-boys by rich tai-tais. Well, I don’t quite qualify as hunky (yet), neither am I cute (cute = ugly but adorable). I’m just doing what I enjoy doing!
So, Mr X, if you are not interested, it’s fine with me. Just stop harrassing me with your persistent sms-es. Do you want to ask for my vital statistics or the size of my dick next? Goodness gracious! Go find an easier target! If you want sex, go check out Geylang or Chinatown! I sell my services. I don’t sell my body. Sorry, that’s out of bounds…
失恋的好友又谈恋爱了!可是他又有独特的麻烦。目前有两个人在追他。
当两个人同时对你好的时候,你会选择谁?这个问题我试着替他回答。可是越想却越烦躁。。。最后我孤枕难眠。
有私心的人当然是两个都想要。如果韦小宝能有七个老婆,我们为何就不能有两个情人呢?左拥右抱的感觉是多么的幸福啊!
面对着旧爱和新欢,你如何做出抉择?旧爱分了手现在又要和好。好友就是面对这棘手的难题。两个人都以他为他们的世界中心。两个人都一样关心、爱护他。
也不知道是福气还是麻烦的开始。他和A出去就要隐瞒B,和B看电影也不能让A知道。总不能一直拖下去。但要做个了断,谈何容易。
他们俩都是有血有肉的人,选了一个必定会为另外一个带来伤害。选了新欢,又怕对不起旧爱。。。反正都好了那么多年,在一起的一幕幕又浮现在脑海里。和旧爱复合,又担心爱火不再,和好不如初。。。他狠不下心,所以一拖再拖。。。
有人说就从直觉上做出选择吧!看谁爱你比较多。又有些人说就从理智上选吧!看谁比较能和你思想观念上沟通吧。
我以为人类可以活得很潇洒。但一旦面对感情上的问题,就托托拉拉、优柔果断、犹豫不决、摇摆不定、束手无策。
As the foodcourt was crowded, I had little choice but to share a table. When told that the seat was not taken, I happily plonked my rear cheeks on the seat and awaited my order with patience.
Seated opposite me was this cherubic looking lady. Judging from her looks and demeanour, I could tell that she was not local.
Anyway, I minded my own business as she too concentrated on eating her noodles.
But I just couldn’t help looking at her noodles as my order took a much longer time this evening and I was really hungry. I think it’s the light showers earlier that’s making me long for something soupy. Her noodles really looked good. I was savouring every moment of her eating her noodles with so much grace that Miss Glutton would feel ashamed sitting next to her. Her dainty lips and the noodle strands blended together in perfect harmony as she fully appreciated the entire meal. No slurping, no spilling, just perfect harmony.
She completed her meal even before my own fish soup arrived. Her next meal was an apple which she took out from a plastic bag. Again, needless to say, she ate the apple with such finesse that I really felt hungry.
Finally, my fish soup was here. By then, Miss Elegant had already finished her apple.
As I buried half my nose into my own fish soup and attempted to make a ceremonial meal out of it as well, I noticed her looking at me. Was it now her turn to look at me eat my fish soup?
She smiled and spoke. “I’m really full…come you can have this apple” as she held another apple in her hand and moved it in my direction.
I returned a smile and declined politely. “Why don’t you eat it later or save it for tomorrow?” I suggested.
“No fridge at home…no friends to give to too…” she replied. “Come on, take it. There’s no poison, don’t worry,” she added.
I certainly wasn’t thinking she would add poison to the apple. Obviously, she’s too zen to even be in the same league as the Wicked Witch. And though I’m fair, I can’t compare myself with the fairness of Snow White either. So no, no, the fairy tale wasn’t going through my head.
Sensing my hesitation, she literally placed the apple in front of me, smiled and took off. I didn’t even have time to react. Before I knew it, she was gone, just like the light evening breeze.
It’s an open secret I have many pairs of shoes…even some of my clients have started to take note of it. Two asked me as a matter of fact how many pairs I owned..haha…of course, I couldn’t come clean less they faint.
My obsession with shoes continues even after I bought a new pair in HK. Call it love at first sight for this pair which I found in HK. Besides the comfy feel when wearing it, I fell in love with the colour combination – black & yellow – perhaps one of the most striking colour combinations…how can I not be moved?
Just when I thought I’d be content, my heart stirred again…twice in fact today at the Isetan Private Sale. And I ended up buying another two pairs of shoes!
Who can ever resist the Nike Air Max? It was the first track shoes I ever bought. Needless to say, slipping into a pair brought me back to my secondary school days…the good old days…my pair then was white and blue. My new pair now is black, grey & purple…
And finally, introducing my second buy of the day – the Adidas Country Rip. The Country Rip series is another one of my personal favourites. I already have the shoes in two other colours – black strips and electric blue strips. Let’s welcome the third member to the Country Rip family! Basically, this pair was really good value for money. After the discount, it was around the same price range which I paid for my last pair in Bali.
